School Children Census.

There has been a good deal said
about taking the school census. "A
claim HIS been announced that Il such
cen ,us were taken the school fund OF
Dallas would be entitled to 50 per cent
mole than is now received. 1t is also
said that Assessor and Collector House
proposes to put a man in each ward in
in.the city to take said census. 1t
doesn't matter whose business it is to
look after this matter, we suppose, but
if Mr.. House has the authority, or a
glimmer of authority, to do this, let
him do it. But it would be well for
the city council to take some action il
they have the power.

His Last Spree.

A few days ago the HERALD stated
that il had been reported that a rob-
berry had been committed NJ the Ma
tional Hotel, which, however, turned
out to be a man with jim jams purSu-
ing imaginary burglars. This man
was John McCarty. John has been a
victim 10 drink for many years. lie
has always been a quiet, inoifensive
man, companionable when not in
liquor. lie had friends who helped
him. On the night he was at the Ma
tional he was taken there by a friend,
who paid for his lodging. McCariy
died last night at the city hospital.
That night at the National was his
last spree. lie went back to the hos
pital and died.

THE TUMBLE In COFFEE
TAKES THE BROKERS BY THE
THROAT AND
ChOkes Them OF the Market-Big
Failures the Result Of the
Decline.

New YORK, June 13.-The opening
OF the Coffee Exchange this morning
was the most excited / I its history. In
thu limited space allowed for clerks
and customers in the exchange at the
junction of Pearl and Beaver stree's
there was an excited throrg anxious
to reach the brokers with orders or re-
ceive from them the result OF orders
already made, while around the ring
almost every broker outside OF the
bear clique had orders to sell. The
buying orders today generally Came
from s Gruner and Orossman & Co.
These firms represented the Clique
which first started the boom in coffee
about eighteen months ago and caused
1t 10 advance from s to Is cents a
pound. AT the latter figure number
OF Rio Janeiro operators, called the
Brazilian party, who had bsen beirs
on the market all the way up to Is
cents, changed their position and be-
came buyers, and carried the price
above 81 cents, which figure it crossed
about two weeks spo. They are now
said to be loaded heavily, one house
being reported to hold 100000 baAs
for their account. The Gruner- Cross
man party, on the other hand, who
are buyers today, are credited with
unloading on the Brszllisns around
the highest figu ee.
The sa'es of the day we're twice as
large as on any previous day in the
history of the Exchange. Feur hun
dred and twelve thousand bags were
sold, 225, 1000 bsgs being sold after the
second call. The following table
shows the result of the suspensions
and the psnics. July C flee, before
Arnold's failure was announced, was
quoted at l5tc, after the announce
mentt at l5c, and at the close of the

CORA LEES TRIAL
Began Yesterday - Great Interest
Mantiested in the Case.

SPRINGTIELD, Mo-, June IS. The
trial OF Cora Lee for the murder OF
Sarah Graham began here this morn
ing. The attendance is large, and in.
quiry from many parts OF the country
shows that the great interest in the
case has not subsidized, although it is
not as intense as when the parties
charged with the crime were frst ar
rested, The jury was secured with
out difficulty, on account OF the lapse
OF time, from number OF people who
have come into the county and were
therefore not familiar with the facts
concerning the crime. Several wit
nesses were examined today, but moth
ing was elected that the public we @
not made familiar with at the time of
the preliminary examination. 1t is
understood that the defendant will 20
upon the stand herself before the trial
closes, when a dramatic and senta-
tional time may be expec ed. Judge
Bland is pr6 siding
Jury was secured without difficulty
on account Of the lapse OF time since
the crime was committed. A number
OF people have come into the county
since then and are not familiar with
the details of the case.

Late in the afternoon a private ca
bic was received by Arnold & Co. and
j. M. Edwards & Co, notifying them
through Bradshaw, Of Rio Janeiro,
that the expectation of September
cofie would probably be reduced ftom
2,250 000 bags to considerably ess than
100000. Such step, by reducing
the supply, will bull the market, and
as result this announcement was
gratefully received. The coffee bro.
kers' offices were occupied, contrary
to all custom, late into the night by
the brokers aad their accountants.
The general opinion sesms to be that
the market has touched bottom and
will be stronger tomorrow, but no one
can predict with any surety,
The panic has resulted in a sudden
influx OF kilograms upon the brokers,
one of which from Hsvre, France,
says that the coffee market there has
risen 8 francs go points,, owing
tn erroneous quotations from New
York. Thus it would seem that the
bulls must have taken advantage of
the panic and cabled a heavy ad-
vance, instead Of the actual decline.
FAILURES.
The fjilure of B. g. Arnold & Co,
coffee merchants, has just been an
nouDced. They were caught largely
long on the decline. The market has
just declined 95 points further and is
very active, excited and panicky. More
failures are expected TO follow. B G.
Arnold was the originator of the Col-
fee Exchange and its first president.
He was formerly of The firm OF Arnold,
Sturgis d Co., the largest coffee house
in the United States. His former
country eest on the sound is now
known ss Oak Point. The failure 10
supposed to have been caused chiefly
by the inability Of Rio houses to re-
NIT margins in time. The liabilities
are stated above ST 100000 and New
York banker is said to be heavily in
volved. The liabilities Of Mscksy &
Small are estimated from $150,000 to
100000. The market is now stesdier.

A MINERs' MEETING
70 Determine the seml.M0ntbly
Pay Day.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, June 49,
There was meeting of the Miners
Union at Kanawha Falls today for the
purpose Of di cnssipg the semi.
monthly pay day. 1t ia not d finitely
known what was done, but it is feared
that the agitation will lead 10 trouble,
and the announcement of the deter
mination of the miners is anxiously
awaited by operators who employ
union miners. An act was passed by
the Legislature at it's last session
changing the pay day TO temi-
monthly, but so far the operators have
not complied with II, and many of
them are unable to NEST the demand.
Many OF them have sigasd contracts
for pay monthly, but as the majority
OF the signers are union men they will
either have to abide by the decision
OF the meeting today or withdraw
from the organization.
